I love Optimus. Do you have a picture of him on the battlefield? I would love to see his scale to other scape figures.

Thanks, we love him too.

Here's Optimus Prime with his wingman Tony Stark while he tries to chat up a shiny truck.


Here's Optimus on a camping trip for inspiring heroes.

Cool trees

Great pics! The scale looks pretty spot on too, which is surprising for something that manages to squeeze onto a peanut base. Now you just need to talk your nephew into printing out a rifle for him.

The next one is another custom paint job. We took Foot Tech (Shuriken 009) which happens to be transparent, and removed the shurikens and "swoosh". Applying
Apple brand Spring Green paint, but leaving some of the transparency and then a black wash and clear coat gives us...



And then Lil'Helm did the rest....

Optimus is cool. Cybertronian is misspelled in his species box though.

Thank you, Lord P., it should now be fixed.

Thanks, Tornado, we now have the nickname “Rep” to call the figure going forward. And the trees are some custom terrain I’m working on. My nephew is printing some tiles for their bases so I can glue them down and lock them in. We will have a wooded forest soon.

Time for a status update on the Helm factory. I’ve resorted a bit based on current predictions of possible release:

Optimus Prime is done
Reptile is done
Ge… is ready to go, will be posted later this weekend
Si… coming soon
Cy… coming soon
Ic… jumped the line, coming soon
Angel is back in the mix and may be coming soon
Ro… entering play tests
Ka… slight delay
St... slight delay
Jo... slight delay
Ki… planned
Li… planned
Jo… planned
Be… planned
Tr… planned

On the card updates and reworks:

Plastic Man is posted
Wasp is posted
Roger is posted
Liz Sherman is ready to go and will be posted real soon
Abe Sapien is coming soon

Probably the last custom paint job for a bit. We have a few others but I don't expect them to jump up the list too fast. So for now, "Kneel Before Zod"



Let me know if you think the first power is worded correctly. I looked at powers that give an extra die for things like Leaving Engagement Attacks for wording inspiration. I'm just not sure if the way it reads implies he gets one more extra die than everyone else for Height Advantage.

The way it reads, he get three dice, the normal one plus two extra. The Microcorp Agents' power says "an additional attack die."

[Matt Helm]

Excellent call out, TW. That's exactly what we were looking for. We have updated the power wording to match the Micro Corp Agents (and took the opportunity to go back to an original power name of "Tactical Height Advantage").
